Kingdom The Clans II - Why vampires, why?

Big thanks to Seraphim Creations (and Lato) for aiding me with this project. It is a big undertaking after all.

What it is?
The story follows adventures of Okashi and her loyal brother Kishimura who are in fact playing a new game called “The Clans II” which game out in their city. They want to play it so badly that they are not even bothering to take the trash out which is rotting on their kitchen inside the house.

No time they get hooked to that game and their first mission is to bring back a few missing clan members. They forget passing of time and begin to roleplay their “roles” immediately. Eventually they meet Okami and CO in that game and get hooked even more. However something sinister is brewing in the shadows and their first quest is just the beginning.

Please note that every bust will be custom made to have a quality like this.

Clan Members
Clan members often get contracted by the king or other people for a right price. It can range from simple delivery quests to waging a war. When not dealing with other clan members, their position is that of just below the king which makes most relatively still new clan members rather arrogant at times.

Clan Collar
Clan members wear their respective clans collars as a proof they belong to their clans. Clan collars are magically sealed to prevent spies and defections.

Spell Pistol
Magic users can use these things to amplify their magic further. These things were popularized by Technomages who likes to mix technology with a magic. However places a tremendous strain to its wielder if overused, thus most Magic users who likes to use these things need their mana replenished way more often.

King Steve
A once fair king who ruled well then suddenly a few decades ago became very stinky and villagers who had so much expenses did need to resort to shady deals due higher taxes imposed by the king.

King Steve's Army
His army is entrusted to the royal guard. While it is their duty to protect villagers and more, their main duty is to ensure that the clans stay under control.

The Royal Guard
Led by the king’s son called Prince Steven who is often confused with the king due the similar name. The royal guard's main duty is protect the current king and command his armies. These guys are extremely loyal for their king and one of main reasons he is still ruling despite of past decades of heavy mismanagement.

Heresy
Those who are immortal are referred simply as heretics. It is power bestowed by the demons and thus forbidden. However most would be heretics try to hide the fact.

Characters

Okashi / Yami Tsugi clan

Likes girls, hates guys. Only male she can barely tolerate is her brother. Claims to defend her brother even though is one in safe distance while her brother takes most of the hits.

Kishimura / Chi Tsugi clan

Okashi’s brother who believes that his duty is to stand as a shield for his rather ungrateful sister. Believes to following the orders even when he personally disagrees with them.

Joey Handsome / Yami Tsugi clan

Joined to Yami Tsugi clan because dubious reasons. Top of that he is male which makes situation even weirder. Tries to get loved by Okashi but so far his attempts have failed due being generally very creepy guy.

Okami Hyou / Chi Tsugi clan

A foolish person who happens be also from a rich family who has close ties with Chi Tsugi clan. She does almost anything as long she gets paid for it.

Kitsune / Rai Tsugi clan

A rather sarcastic fellow, likes to hang out with Okami Hyou for some strange reason. She doesn’t care about her supposed quest to beat her Kung-Fu master in a duel to take over Dojo like traditions say.

Mahou / Yami Tsugi clan

A mage with slight tendency towards pyromancy. However overall she is rather stable and modest person who does not brag about her power that much however she suffers from various phobias at times like fear of ghosts.

Butsu / Rai Tsugi clan

She is supposed to be an archeologist but is really bad at it. Has thieving tendencies even though her main hobbies include reading and throwing books at enemies.

General Bastardo / Vampire clan

He is Deaux Excimus’ brother and has great plans to assume more powerful position and might even try to convince members of the other clans to aid him. Has a long standing grudge with Deaux Excimus about who is better to lead their branch of the clan.

Deaux Excimus / Vampire clan

Often takes someone as her nemesis because of wrong reasons which she deludes itself to be right ones. Most of her minions don’t get a second chance if they fail and thus her “trusted” Vampires often hide their failures from her. Should someone admit their mistakes she sees as a weakness and then she uses Dark Edge on them. On that note, it is her favorite sword too.

Been out of the loop lately and here's my thought on the demo. Overall I really like it! The battle system is obviously the spotlight here and i have to say it's really enjoyable, really a huge improvement over the first game. It's quite rare to see such tactical battle system in an RM game and this one in Kingdom II is really good, the selection of character skills is neat, just like the first game, everyone have their own skill sets and characteristics. The only flaw here is the fact that you used random enemy encounter for tactical battle system.. after a while it's quite tiring to face enemy after enemy because the nature of tactical battle that takes longer than a standard, turn based battle. My suggestion is maybe tone down the encounter percentage or maybe don't use random encounter system.

Other than that, it's as usual, the story is enjoyable and the interface arrangement and system is very neat. I will definitely wait for the full release

By longer than standard, I mean comparing the time it takes to finish battle in turn based tactical battles with the more common, front-view battle system.. that is usually more faster. I was referring to an incompatibilty of random based encounter especially those with steep encounter rate with a tactical turn based battle. Since tactical turn based battle takes more time to finish, with steep encounter rate it means you will spent most of the playtime in battle, which is quite tiring after a while. A simple workaround for this is to decrease the random enemy encounter rate drastically and make battles harder but yield more EXP + loot.
